GONE MAD,


Boston Colbett, the slayer of John
Wilkes Booth, has gone stark staring
mad. He always was q crank and the
other day added to his nOtoriety by cap
turing the Kansas House of Representa-.
tiVes. At the commencement of the
present session of the Kansas legisla-
ture, he was appointed assistant door
keeper. 0n Tuesday morning he con-
cl1ded that the time had come for him
to distinguish himself In some startling
way. He strapped on couple of reVol-
vers, and with a drawn weapon chased
darkey attendent from the hall. The
sergesnt-at-arms expostulated, when
COrbett covered him with his revolver
and ordered him to git" He got. The
msddened man then searched for
Speaker Smith, and, meeting member
who somewhat resembled the Speaker
was about to FIRE when the man threw
up his hands and said he was not the
Speaker. The member was permitted
to move on, COrbett then took posses
sion of the Speakers gallery, and walk
ing in front of the doors held it during
the entire forenoon session, refusing TO
allow any one to come near. Three city
policemen were called, but they would
not venture into the dark corridor, and
the slayer Of Booth held his position.
At IL o'clock be sent word down to the
house to adjourn or he would come down
and adjourn 1t himself. The House ad.
journed. eOrbett was afterwards cap
tured and disarmed. Hs will be taken
before the Probate Judge, adjudged in
sane, and confined In an asylum.

Patent Office, Washington, carrying

told a private secretary who lietened to
him that he had invented a bomb which
would explode as soon as 1t touched
water. He further said that the small
specimen he had with him would, when
exploded, make noise like a firecracker.
A pail Of water was obtained and the
bomb was thrown Into 1t. The effect
was magical. The. water. was hurled to
the ceiling and fell in showers allover
the room and the private secretary. The
noise Of the explosion sounded like the

tary says The bomb is q success. Why

examiners decided that so necessary q

The other features Of the device were
favorably acted upon, although the law
requires an invention to be 'new and
useful" In order to be patentable.

place during the late war Of a band Of
gQerrillas known IS ''BlOOdy Bill Brady's
Gang" These marauders were attacked
near Benton, Marshall county, In 1854,
and all but two were killed. These two

spOils Ofthe gang, and following their
murderOus bent, shot and killed each

investigation of the, cave and Its former

cavern was most likely the headquarters
many years ago Of the notorious John
A. Murrell, who robbed and murdered
people of this portion of Kentucky and

FoR q newspaper conducted with re-
markabIs and varied ability the RepOsi'
tory Is subject to numerous disappoint-
ments.
On the Sheriff question, 1t will be re-
membered how the Rep. raved and rat
tied. And when the Clerk refused to
tsbulate Crawford's vote the Rep. and
their distinguished attorneys undertook
to blOvlate and storm the thing through,
but they scared nobody, not even with
their order from the Supreme, Court
notifying the Clerk to appear and ex.
plain, which he did to the aatisfaction--
of the Court. How the decision amazed
themI They did. not think 1t possible.
Or course the Rep. Is mum over the
Sheriff matter; but the new Infrmary is
still q trouble. Il this Mr.. Lablin joins
and he too is sorsly troubled. However,
1t is to be hoped they will both become
rscOnclled and rest content by leaving
the question to the decision Of the
people.
Some think If a certain architect had
been selected instead of Guy TiIden the
Rep. and Mr.. LaibIln would have been
Satisfied. 1t was Mr.. Tilden's excellent
work In planning and experimenting
the Children's Home that first recon-
msnded him to the Commissioners.
Their confidence In Mr.. Tildsn has mo-
been misplaced In single instance.
Az to the fair ground extension, the
people of Stark county have right to be
heard. The county Is to pay, and hence
the taxpayers are interested. There is
no need Of unseemly controversy. Let
the facts be known and discussed and
the whole matter will be duly settled.
